When Are Children's Tooth Extractions Necessary?

If we can safely and effectively reverse any dental damage or salvage a tooth, we’ll always choose that over extracting it. We want your child to enjoy a full set of pearly whites, whether they’re going to fall out naturally in the future or they’re their permanent teeth. However, in cases where we feel a dental problem or tooth threatens the health of others, we may recommend an extraction. Here are some situations in which this may occur:
- Gum disease has eroded the supportive hard and soft tissues surrounding a tooth, making it loose.
- A tooth is severely decayed and cannot be repaired with a tooth-colored filling or crown.
- An infected tooth cannot be treated with root canal therapy.
- Your child is in severe pain because of a damaged tooth that isn’t repairable.
